SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A Northern California man is suing the regional Boy Scouts council he was involved with as a teenager over sexual abuse he alleges occurred at the hands of his troop leader.
Coast Guard veteran Mark Dietrich filed a lawsuit in Solano County Superior Court on Wednesday alleging that the then-scoutmaster of his Vacaville-based troop frequently molested him between 1978 and 1981.
The suit claims that Boy Scouts officials at the local and regional level knew the scoutmaster had had inappropriate contact with other boys. Deitrich's lawyer, Irwin Zalkin, would not provide details.
Neither the Boy Scouts' Golden Empire Council nor the national organization would comment on the suit, which is the latest in a string of sexual abuse lawsuits brought against the Boy Scouts of America or its affiliates.

Hey Mkt's Seth Sexton, What Should I Drink Tonight?
"Basadone boasts a luscious mix of black and white pepper, dark cherries, and a hint of smoke."
Wherein we ask local wine notables to make our weeknight drinking decisions for us.
Seth Sexton grew up on a cattle farm on the Olympia peninsula, and often visited his grandfather in Ronald, Washington, where he made (and still makes) wine in scale-caked cement vats beneath his home. With his grandfather's stories of gathering and crushing grapes, it's no wonder he ended up with a career in vino.
Sexton started as a busser at Bizzarro Italian Café, and five years later he was the café's wine buyer. Since then, he has selected wines at How to Cook a Wolf, Altura, Lark, and other restaurants. He currently works as the manager and wine buyer for Ethan Stowell's mkt.
So Seth, what should I drink tonight?
My palette often leans toward the funky, earthy, stewy, sometimes damp mélange of Italian and French Wines. I live for a big bouquet, chewy mid-palette sensations, and long lingering finish: leather, barnyard, straw, rosehips, mushrooms, leaves and brambles, cedar, pine, and fruits all tangled up on the tongue.
My recommendation for the coming months is Castello di Verduno's Basadone 2011.
It means kiss of the woman or, in the native Italian dialects of northern Italy where this stunning wine hails from, it references the local poppy. Basadone is made from the native grape called pelaverga piccolo and boasts a luscious mix of black and white pepper, dark cherries, and a hint of smoke. It's light ruby in color with a lean and chiseled body. This wine flickers like candlelight.
Find It: Pike and Western Wine, Leschi Market, DeLaurenti (by special order)
The Price: $23–$24

Whatever happened to the concept of "the public interest?" What about "the common good?"
In 1961 John F. Kennedy said in his inaugural speech, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." This statement inspired an entire generation to dedicate themselves to public service or other pursuits that helped the public-at-large ahead of narrower, selfish interests. And they thought that was a good thing to do with their lives, not a foolish waste of their time.
Many today would scoff at that notion. In the decades since JFK's call to public service the idea of government as a force for good has been severely denigrated. For so many years conservatives and business interests have been getting their message out, trying to convince us that people should be selfish — that they shouldn't care about others because it is up to each person to take care of themselves. They say that we are not our brother or sister's keeper, that each person should be responsible only for themselves.
But there are some basic facts and realities that get in the way of conservative philosophy.
The Public Interest

Heartland, the third album by Owen Pallett, is a panoramic and orchestral work; a song cycle of Contemporary Fiction, and Owen Pallett's finest work to date.
Heartland's narrative concerns a young, ultra-violent farmer named Lewis and is set in the imaginary landscape of Spectrum. Pallett describes the concepts behind the record: "The album is about the beginning, middle and end of a relationship. But it's sung from the point of view of the object of my affection."
Recorded over nine months, Pallett enlisted the services of the Czech Philharmonic in Prague and travelled to Reykjavik to use Valgeir Sigurðsson's Greenhouse studio, home to such sonically widescreen masterpieces as Bjork's Medulla & Bonnie "Prince" Billy's The Letting Go. Collaborating on Heartland are drummer Jeremy Gara (of Arcade Fire) and mixer Rusty Santos, who previously worked on Panda Bear's Person Pitch.
The composition of the record is diverse, oscillating between 19th century military music, '70s analog synth-pop, Russian futurism and American pointillism, often in the space of a few bars. According to Pallett, "The songs were designed to be as dense with polyphony as the Final Fantasy live shows can become. While writing it, I kept an image in my head of putting so many notes on the page that the paper turned black." The result is a multi-layered orchestral work played with the immediacy of a singer-songwriter or electro bedroom auteur. As Pallett notes, "The album was compositionally modelled upon the principles of electronic music." In effect Pallett treated the orchestra like a vintage modular synth, programming the parts accordingly: "The string section can function as a white noise generator, the winds clatter like an eight-step sequencer, and the brass rises and falls like an enormous oscillating filter."
This process echoes the Final Fantasy live shows where Pallett layers parts over and over one another to produce a dense set of orchestral flourishes, something approaching a one man orchestra playing the Rite of Spring with a wholly pop heart. Running in counterpoint to this composition method is Pallet's incredible sense of melody and his resonant voice. His singing on Heartland infuses the songs with empathy and drama, weaving itself among the strings and percussion, soaring at times on "Lewis Takes Off his Shirt" and "Tryst With Mephistopholes" through the drama of the narrative.
Owen Pallett named Final Fantasy as a nod to the unending series of operatic, melodramatic video games of the same name. Owen has written string and orchestral arrangements for numerous releases, including the Arcade Fire's Neon Bible, Grizzly Bear's Yellow House, Beirut's The Flying Club Cup and The Last Shadow Puppets' The Age of the Understatement. Most recently he wrote orchestral parts for Pet Shop Boys' Yes, played violin on Mika's The Boy Who Knew Too Much and contributed string arrangements to the Mountain Goats album, The Life of the World to Come.
Heartland is a unique modern musical statement. A record comprising twelve concise songs informed by the traditions of pop, which are based on one long narrative concept, and played by an orchestra. The result is an extraordinary piece of work ringing to the sound of its distinct sense of ambition, warmth and emotion.

Ski Season: Where to Eat in Whistler, British Columbia
Just because almost anything tastes good after a long day slaloming through the snow in Whistler, British Columbia, doesn't mean you have to settle for subpar supper in this mountainside resort town. Whistler's restaurant scene has blossomed in recent years, offering the opportunity to slip off the slopes and into the bar for oyster happy hour before moving on to traditional Japanese udon noodles or local elk tartar.
Whistler has a distinct advantage among ski towns, located just an hour and half north of one of the world's best cities for eating, Vancouver, BC. Fresh seafood, local meats and produce, and well-honed technique are easy to find at many of the Whistler's restaurants—if you know were to look and how to avoid the tourist traps. Here's a cheat sheet for finding great meals in Whistler:
Ciao Thyme Bistro
A tiny Upper Village bistro that does a fabulous impression a small neighborhood brunch spot—an impressive feat in a resort town full of tourists. BC specialties are integrated into traditional dishes—think eggs Benedict with crab cakes—at brunch. Lunch is worth walking the extra hundred yards from the bottom of Blackcomb Mountain to get to for freshly-made, full-flavored sandwiches. In winter Ciao offers dinner, missing no beats from the classic bistro style, letting diners cozy up to roasted chicken, acorn squash gnocchi, or short-rib ravioli.
Ciao Thyme Bistro: 4573 Chateau Blvd, V0N 1B4; 604-932-7051; website
Pure Bread
I've heard Vancouverites debate the drive up to Whistler just for a bite of Pure Bread's baked goods, and it's hard to argue with that. Big, crusty breads mingle with rich desserts and delicate baked goods, both sweet and savory. The huge variety that this shop is able to put out—from ultra-fluffu scones to a "Seriously Seedy" loaf that's seriously good—is impressive, and makes for some great loaf-ogling as you sip a cup of Stumptown coffee (the best cuppa you'll find in these parts).
Due to a fire, Pure Bread is in a temporary location in the Whistler Marketplace for the Winter 2013-4 season. Their Function Junction location also remains open.
Pure Bread: Marketplace, 129-4340 Lorimer Rd, V0N 1B4; 1-1040 Millar Creek Road, Function Junction, V0N 1B1; 604-938-3013; website
Bearfoot Bistro
The most eye-catching thing about Bearfoot Bistro is the price tag on their prix fixe, but where you should really be looking is the oyster happy hour. The cold waters of BC's coast are prime oyster habitat, and Bearfoot brings in some of the region's finest, serving them alongside their fancy champagne service as part of the dinner. The smart slurper, however, comes by from 3-5 p.m. any day (prime après ski time), when Bearfoot serves them up for $9.95 a dozen at the bar.
Bearfoot Bistro: 4121 Village Green, V0N 1B4; 604-932-3433; website
Rimrock Café
The Rimrock captures old-school, ski-town coziness impeccably, with a log-cabin warmth and lived-in feel rubbing shoulders with the candlelit-classiness and impeccable service. The menu is filled with fish and game classics (the venison is always a good choice), with just a few forays into updated dishes, like the scallop and pork belly appetizer with ancho chili sauce. Nearing its third decade in a town that has seen exponential growth in that time, the Rimrock is the elder statesman of Whistler dining. Consider it an elegant, dependable old man, full of (culinary) wisdom to dispense at a leisurely pace.
Rimrock Café: 2117 Whistler Rd, V0N 1B2; 604-932-5565; website
Sushi Village
Full disclosure: this has been my favorite restaurant in the world since I could still count my age on my fingers. At that time, my parents would limit our options to non-sushi items to keep the budget under control, so bowls of udon noodle soup (still just $5.45), sometimes loaded up with tempura ($9.25), were good choices from the full menu of Japanese offerings (spinach gomae, sukiyaki, plus locally-inspired items like avocado and Dungeness crab salad). As an employed adult, I feel free to spoil myself at their sushi bar, choosing from fresh uni, 'box' style sushi, and whatever else the specials menu has featured. The no-reservations policy means that waits are de rigueur on the comfy couches of the bar area, except for larger parties, who would be smart to call ahead about one of the private tatami rooms.
Sushi Village: 4272 Mountain Square, V0N 1B4; 604-932-3330; website
Alta Bistro
Since opening in late 2010, Alta Bistro has evolved from a simple bistro with exceptional food to a true high-end, modern restaurant experience (the kind where you'd be wise to reserve way in advance). While those who may have gone in the past will mourn the relegation of the terrific-value prix-fixe menu to off-season only, the beautifully presented plates feature the kind of modern technique you'd expect at a multiple-Michelin-starred restaurant: Alberta elk tartar and duck liver parfait arrives in a little jar, with cocoa nibs and molasses rye bread crumbs spilling onto the wood board below, wowing customers as they admire the newly expanded space.
Alta Bistro: 4319 Main St, V0N 1B4; 604-932-2582; website
This sibling restaurant of some of Vancouver's finest (West, Blue Water Café) brings a bit of big city swank up to Whistler's main square. The newly-installed oyster bar gleams, refreshing the long-standing restaurant. Fresh seafood is a star here, including the multi-tiered seafood towers. Alongside the urban shine, Araxi offers a little ski town warmth, like the après-ski bar special fondue. The most important thing that Araxi has to offer, however, is the one thing that nobody else in Whistler seems to have been able to master: a decent cocktail (try the barrel-aged boulevardier).
Araxi: 4222 Village Square, V0N 1B4; 604-932-4540; website
Zog's Dogs/Beaver Tails
This Village window is brave, featuring no indoor seating, even in the height of ski season. It has reason to be confident, though, serving up two uniquely Canadian foods: poutine, and large, flat pieces of fried dough called Beaver Tails. The tails really aren't that different from the elephant ears served at state fairs, except for the toppings, which start with the familiar (cinnamon and sugar), but expand to a variety that includes chocolate hazelnut, apple cinnamon, and, for the full Canadian experience, maple butter. The budget-snack stop by window does brisk business in hot dogs at lunchtime, but it really comes alive for prime poutine time—it's open until 1 a.m. on Saturdays.
Zog's Dogs/Beaver Tails: 4340 Sundial Crescent, V0N 1B4; 604-938-6644; Google+

Dear Mr. Dukes,
You don't know me and I don't know you. I don't know what kind of person you are. I don't know if you are funny or sweet, smart or dumb, a "nice guy" or just a plain asshole. I have no idea what kind of person you are, but unfortunately I know more about you than a baseball fan would normally find on the back of a baseball card.
I know that you have been arrested at least six times, including one as recently as this past January for marijuana possession. I know that you have five children with four different women, of which two were born eight days apart. I know that during your professional baseball career you have been suspended five times, three of those were by your own employers, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
You are only 22 and you have the world's greatest job. You are a major league baseball player. I wish I could say that you are risking this blessing with all your emotional outbursts. I wish I could say that you risk ending up like Lawrence Phillips. Do you remember Lawrence Phillips, Mr. Dukes? I do…barely. He had all the talent in the world, but he kept running afoul of both the law and his various teams. He had all the talent in the world and teams kept giving him chances, hoping that they would be able to keep him under control and Phillips would finally realize his potential. But unfortunately for Phillips he wasn't that great of a football player and teams finally gave up. Last I heard he was in jail or heading there. But I honestly don't know, because nobody cares anymore.
I hope for your sake that you won't be Lawrence Phillips. I hope you have too much talent. Maybe you will end up like Pacman Jones? No, that's not fair, and besides the baseball union is too strong to ever let you be suspended for an entire season. More likely, you will be Milton Bradley or a player you may be more familiar with, Carl Everett, who is also from Tampa. Both players are extremely emotional which can be great when harnessed and used to inflict pain on a baseball, but every once in a while, that emotion gets them in trouble. How have things turned out for Bradley and Everett? Not bad. Both have been fortunate enough to have long baseball careers. They have earned a lot of money, but they could have earned a lot more. Nobody likes them, and all their teams eventually get tired of the antics and realize the talent just is not worth it. But they are talented and there is always another team waiting to give them a chance.
You were the one player I was looking forward to seeing on opening day this year. I had followed your career since the Rays drafted you. I don't have children, but every time you got in trouble it felt like one of my kids getting in trouble. I was upset, but I still pulled for you. There were times I felt like giving up, but the talent was too great. The great athlete. The great Elijah Dukes. Just this past week I had been pondering the future of the Rays outfield and I found myself thinking for the first time that it would be OK to lose Rocco Baldelli in a trade. You had shown that you were more than capable of filling the void. Now my gut tells me the future center fielder is BJ Upton, whose career includes two games at the position.
So, Mr. Dukes, what kind of person are you? We know that you are an immensely talented baseball player. We also know you are emotional, and sometimes irrational. We know that sometimes you do stupid things. We know that you are losing the trust and respect of the fans, your team and teammates. And you may be losing money down the road.
But what kind of person are you? Do you care about any of this? Do you care about the fans? Do you care about your team and your teammates?
I love writing about the Devil Rays. I do this for fun. I am not a writer or a member of the media. But I hate having to write about stories like this. The Devil Rays are already a joke in the eyes of many and this latest incident just confirms that status and takes the fun out writing about the team. It's going to be difficult to forgive you this time. I want to root for you as a baseball player. But I can't do that if I can't root for the person.
I do hope for your sake that you keep hitting home runs, and become a great baseball player, because if you don't you will become Lawrence Phillips. Teams will eventually give up on you. And the fans? We will remember you…barely.
Cork Gaines (The Professor)
Rays Index
- Dukes was not in the lineup last night.
- If you missed Deadspin's take on Dukes, take the time to read the comments section. It will be worth your time, or it may make you cry.
- The Devil Rays have issued the standard politically correct statement that says absolutely nothing.
The Devil Rays organization takes these types of allegations very seriously, but at this point it remains a private matter between Elijah and his family. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide ongoing assistance to Elijah.
- It doesn't look as if anything will come of this most recent incident for Dukes as his wife will not file charges.
- Everybody has an opinion. Everybody.

Fishing FAQs
- Where can I find a copy of the administrative rules that regulate hunting and fishing?
The Fishing Guide provides an overview of rules regulating fishing in lay terms. The state also maintains a web site with the current set of administrative rules and laws as they appear in the Indiana Code. This site is updated monthly and includes all changes that have been made recently, including regulation for reptiles, amphibians, and mussels. Go to Article 9 in Indiana Administrative Code 312 to get the rules specifically for the Division of Fish and Wildlife.
- I caught a nice fish but don't want to keep it. Can I release it into another lake or river?
It is illegal to move fish from one public water to another without a fish stocking permit. Moving fish between waters can introduce diseases, disrupt the adaptive characteristics of a local populations, or cause competition between species that negatively affects game fish and aquatic resources.
- Is tournament fishing regulated in Indiana?
The state legislature and DNR recognize the increasing use of public waters for tournaments and other organized activities and are actively addressing this issue. Anglers who are participating in fishing tournaments must comply with all existing laws and regulations regarding bag limits and boating safety. Individuals who possess fish above their individual bag limit, such as fish transported and released after weigh in, must have a special use permit issued from the IDNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. Applications for these permits are reviewed for biological impact to the fish and lake community. If a permit is issued for this purpose, the individuals transporting these fish must have the permit in possession at all times during transport and must comply with all conditions on the permit. Tournaments held on state properties (reservoirs) currently participate in a drawing to control the number, size and impact of tournaments on public access facilities.
In the most recent session, the state legislature passed a bill to regulate group watercraft activities on public waters, which includes fishing tournaments (HEA 1075). A description of the Indiana Lakes Management Work Group and copy of their final report, including the recommendations that led to passage of HEA 1075, are on the web at: . The bill was signed into law by Governor O'Bannon and took effect on July 1, 2000. The IDNR published a notice of intent to adopt administrative rules in the Indiana Register on September 1, 2000. These rules are under development over the next several months and will require public input for finalization. We would appreciate your attendance or ideas submitted during this process. Information on the status of any bill in the legislature and a downloadable (PDF) copy of the current language in the bill can be retrieved by typing the bill number into the "BillWatch" web site.
- What are the size and bag limits for largemouth bass or other fish in Indiana?
Regulations apply to "state-owned" fish. This includes permanent streams and any impoundment on publicly-owned lands, as well as many waters on private lands. Private ponds that are isolated from streams are excluded. The Fishing Guide provides information on legal limits for all fish and gives more specific information for several species and waterbodies. For instance, the size limits listed in the section of the Fishing Guide on "Bass Regulations" show that the legal length is 14 inches for largemouth bass in most inland lakes and Lake Michigan and 12 inches on rivers, but also lists several waterbodies for which special size regulations differ from the standard restrictions. Please review this list for any water that you intend to fish. If you have questions after reading the Fishing Guide about regulations or fishing opportunities in a specific water body, please call the Conservation Officer or District Fisheries Biologist for that area.
- Is it illegal to use cast nets to catch game fish?
Cast nets are not an approved gear for catching game fish in any Indiana waters (312 IAC 9-7-2 and 9-7-16). Cast nets are only legal for taking bait fish, or minnows, in most waters. However, cast nets cannot be used within five hundred (500) yards below any dam on inland waters or boundary waters such as the Ohio River (312 IAC 9-7-15). Cast nets in most waters cannot be larger than 10 feet in diameter and the mesh stretch is no larger than 3/4 inch. Cast nets used to take minnows from the Ohio River must not exceed nine (9) feet in diameter nor have mesh size larger than three-eighths (3/8) inch bar mesh (312 IAC 9-7-16e4). Minnows taken for bait must not be of any species considered endangered or threatened. Bag limits and size limits for sportfish must be followed regardless of the means of catching fish. Any fish that does not meet these restrictions must be released immediately.
- Can gamefish be used for bait?
It is illegal to possess, for any reason, a game fish that does not meet the bag limits or size limits indicated for that species. Any legally-caught fish may be used as bait. However, it is illegal to use live carp or gizzard shad for bait. However, live shad are allowed at to be used as bait at Brookville Reservoir, Cecil M. Harden Reservoir, Monroe Reservoir, Patoka Reservoir, Lake Freeman, Lake Shafer, Hardy Lake and the Ohio River mainstream, excluding all embayments. Live goldfish are legal baitfish. Do not dump bait buckets or move any live fish from one lake or river to another waterway. Introduction of live fish into a waterbody is stocking and requires a permit from the DNR.
- Why is it illegal to use live gizzard shad for bait in most waters?
It is illegal to use gizzard shad on most waters. Even though gizzard shad are native to Indiana, they can be detrimental to fisheries where they were not previously established. It is illegal to move live fish from one body of water to another. To keep gizzard shad in their native waters there is a restriction on when they can be used. Another issue is that small gizzard shad and two species of Asian carp (bighead and silver carp) look very similar when they are juveniles. It can be very hard to distinguish these species. To prevent the further spread of Asian carp, use of gizzard shad is limited to waters where they already have established populations.
- Is it legal to use a light to attract minnows at night to fish for crappie?
There are no restrictions on fishing hours. Some lakes do have restrictions on boat speeds during certain hours. The Fishing Guide provides information on current fishing regulations and allowable gear.
Reporting Fish
- I caught a strange-looking fish. Should I report it?
If you catch an unusual fish, such as an aquarium fish or exotic species, take a close-up picture of the fish that would show identifying characteristics, measure its length, write a description of the color, behavior or other unusual characteristics, and report the location and date to the District Fisheries Biologist in your region. You can also report it using the Fish Identification Form.
- How do I submit an entry for a big fish that I caught?
The "Fish of the Year" and "State Record Fish" programs provide recognition for large fish caught by anglers in Indiana. Eligible species for the official competition are on an established list of the most common sportfish in Indiana. Recent additions to this list have been significant species that have been introduced to the state in the past several decades. You are welcome to submit an entry from a species not on the list, as the information may be useful to fisheries biologists in determining the sizes of various fish species in Indiana. However, it is unlikely that a fish species not on the list will be entered in the official competition. Categories are "Fish of the Year" or largest fish of each species caught between January 1 and December 31. "State Record Fish" for the largest fish of each species caught in recorded history. All entries must be postmarked by December 31 for Fish of the Year. Shortly after the new year, entries are reviewed to determine the largest fish of each species. The anglers with the largest fish receive a certificate and patch. The list of species and instructions for submitting a large fish entry are in the Fishing Guide from IDNR. The Fishing Guide is also available on the web at: Questions may be directed to the Fisheries Program Specialist, IDNR Division of Fish & Wildlife at 317-232-4080. If you have a fish you would like to enter, we would need the following information. Entry forms are in the Fishing Guide, but you can also submit the following information in any format.
- Name and address of angler with telephone number
- Enclose a good photo that would show the species of fish and some indication of size.
- species
- length
- girth (distance around belly of fish)
- weight, as measured on a certified scales (e.g., at a bait shop or grocery store) for State Record Fish
- date caught
- name of waterbody
- county
- type of tackle
- lure or bait used
- name of store and address where weight was taken with phone number for State Record Fish
- name and phone of two witnesses who observed the measurement

Fisheries Management
- Is "catch and release" always the best tool for fisheries management?
Catch and release is an important fisheries management technique which the DNR promotes in the Fishing Guide and at other opportunities. Anglers along damaged resources, such as the White River between Anderson and Indianapolis, are especially encouraged to use catch and release. Many anglers use catch and release in areas where consumption advisories limit the number of fish that should be eaten. Fish must be handled carefully and released in good condition to reap the benefits of catch and release fishing. It is illegal to sort fish within your bag limit. Do not dispose of unwanted fish within your bag limit by dumping dead or dying fish in waterways. However, the fisheries in Indiana are also managed for a harvest that is carefully monitored through creel surveys (asking a statistical sampling of anglers what they are catching and keeping) and fish surveys (shocking, netting or trapping a statistical proportion of the population). Most sportfish populations in Indiana can withstand a harvest. If there is evidence that the harvest is negatively affecting the size, growth rate or age distribution of that species, fisheries regulations are adjusted to protect the population through slot limits or limits on fishing gear. While many anglers in Indiana are fishing for recreational purposes, there are also anglers that fish for subsistence. Fishing provides a healthy and inexpensive means of supplementing food resources. If you have further questions about a particular species or location, please feel free to refer them to the fisheries biologist who covers the counties of interest.
Where to Fish
- Where can I fish for northern pike? What waters are recommended for other fish?
What waters are recommended for other fish? Fisheries biologists recently compiled 40 years worth of northern pike surveys from 107 lakes and found which lakes historically have good pike populations. Pike appear to be thriving in certain Indiana watersheds, especially in larger lakes such as lakes Wawasee, Syracuse and James, where densities may be increasing. They are also abundant in the natural lakes of the upper Fawn River, lower Turkey Creek, and middle Tippecanoe River drainages. Anglers looking to tangle with these toothy predators might try five recommended pike fishing lakes: Big Chapman Lake, Dewart Lake and the Wawasee/Syracuse lakes chain (Kosciusko County); or Hamilton Lake and the James/Jimmerson/Snow chain of lakes (Steuben County). These are lakes have decent public access and good pike populations. Other notable pike lakes are Jones and Waldron (Noble County), Hogback and Deep (Steuben County), Center (Kosciusko County), and Pretty (Lagrange County). Information on recommended places to fish for certain species and location of public access sites is available in the "Where to Fish in Indiana" section of the Fishing Guide.
Concerns about Eating Fish
- If fish taste bad, are they contaminated?
The taste of fish depends upon the species and what they have eaten. Taste is an individual preference and is not a good indicator of the presence of contamination. Off flavor can often be removed through preparation. Algae can cause a bad taste in water and fish that is rarely toxic. Toxic chemicals do not necessarily alter the flavor or color of the fish. Eating larger, older fish can present a health risk if those fish have accumulated materials that are toxic to humans over their lifetime, such as PCBs and mercury. If your fish are in an isolated pond that has not received drainage from industrial facilities or other toxic chemical runoff, eating them probably presents a lower risk of contamination. Risk can be reduced by trimming fat and skin from the fish and by cooking. However, mercury is deposited from the air and can build up to toxic levels in older fish in any waters in the state. Mercury cannot be reduced by trimming or cooking. Risk is also perceived differently by individuals and depends on various factors of an individual's life. Pregnant women and children are at higher risk of negative effects due to exposure to chemicals in food. Guidance on fish preparation to reduce risk is available in the Fishing Guide and in the Fish Consumption Advisory.
- How does the state determine where consumption advisories apply?
Three agencies within the state work together every year to provide improved access to this important information. They are the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), Indiana Department of Health (IDOH), and Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The IDEM annually collects fish and conducts tissue analyses. Each year, they review and improve their methods to ensure that the most effective data are collected to adequately assess risk to the angling public. Within the past several years, the three agencies have agreed to use the more protective "risk based assessment" (RBA) analysis that was developed for fish in the Great Lakes region. This change from the FDA action levels caused more waters to be posted in the advisory, as the levels of mercury which trigger listing were lowered. The IDOH issues hard copies of the complete fish consumption advisory and has posted it on their web site every year since 1998. The IDNR publishes an annual fishing guide, which also contains a full page explanation of the significance of fish consumption advisories and how to obtain the complete advisory. The DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife prints and distributes one-half million copies of this guide each year.
- Is it safe to fish on the White River between Anderson and Indianapolis?
Fisheries surveys and reports from anglers suggest that the White River suffered a serious setback with the fish kill of December 1999. While the state can stock a limited number of sportfish species that are available from state or commercial hatcheries, the majority of the 72 species that provide diversity and forage for the upper West Fork White River fish community are nongame species that are not raised in hatcheries. These fish must recover through migration and natural reproduction over a number of years. The Department of Health has indicated that anglers can return to using the fisheries advisories which were placed on this stretch of river prior to the 1999 incident. More information on fish consumption advisories is located on the web.
The DNR strongly urges all anglers to practice catch and release within the section from Anderson to Indianapolis. This will allow the population to retain larger sportfish for spawning and repopulating the area. Small streams that feed this section of White River will also play a significant role in providing migration into the damaged part of the main stem. The habitat, water quality and fishery in those areas should also be protected. We are in a process of active surveying and rehabilitation for this section.

Not even the restroom can afford celebrities rest from their fans.
While attending a screening of his new film "Source Code" at the South-By-Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, Jake Gyllenhaal was photographed by a fan during a very private and vulnerable moment in the men's room.
"I think [the men's room] is an appropriate space to keep privacy," the actor tells "Entertainment Weekly." "I hope that people wouldn't disagree with me on that."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
After the picture was snapped, Gyllenhaal confronted the amateur paparazzo and demanded that the man delete the photograph. Apparently, he complied and Gyllenhaal later laughed off the incident.
Gyllenhaal has had his share of run-ins with actual paparazzi - including allegedly kicking one in the shin and calling the police when his car was followed while out with former girlfriend Taylor Swift.

text:
pressure, in mechanics, ratio of the force acting on a surface to the area of the surface; it is thus distinct from the total force acting on a surface. A force can be applied to and sustained by a single point on a solid. However, a force can only be sustained by the surface of an enclosed fluid, i.e., a liquid or a gas. Thus it is more convenient to describe the forces acting on and within fluids in terms of pressure. Units of pressure are frequently force units divided by area units, e.g., pounds per square inch, dynes per square centimeter, or newtons (N) per square meter.

For the purposes of comparison with the Knight letter, here is the PFG client letter of last year, just after MFG tanked:
Is there any country in the world that has actual financial safeguards that do anything in reality?
Words are cheap, and often meaningless, when it all boils down. Who can we trust? Not the CFTC it seems.PFG wrote:November 18, 2011
To our valued PFGBEST customers, affiliates, and partners:
Many futures and forex clients who had their accounts at MF Global have asked for PFGBEST assistance in getting them transferred out of MF or another firm that they were transferred to without having a choice in the matter. Many more have asked us to continue with the very strong advocacy on behalf of customers to be able to choose what firm they want to do business with.
We have been eager to provide answers to questions posed about the safeguards that we have in place. And we have been fighting back against the firms which stand to benefit from holding customer funds, and brokers, and CTAs as hostages in the scramble that has been taking place for several weeks now.
And, of course, PFGBEST continues to be among the strongest voices calling for the customer funds from MF Global to be returned to them in full without further delay. The CME Group made an important inroad when it took the unusual step of promising $300 million of its own money to help speed the return of customer money that remains trapped in MF Global following its bankruptcy filing two weeks ago.
As always, we respect your feedback and your inquiries and will give you the BEST answers that are available to us now and in the futures.
Regarding the sanctity of customer-segregated account balances:
PFGBEST does not hold customer segregated account balances in anything but cash or short-term U.S. Treasuries.
Transparency of customer segregated funds:
PFGBEST reports daily and monthly to regulators concerning customer segregated funds. An independent, certified audit is conducted annually in addition to periodic, regular audits by NFA and information requests from the CFTC and exchange representatives..
A word about our clearing firm:
Jefferies Group, Inc. has no meaningful credit risk in the sovereign debt of the PIIGS nations, and an insignificant risk related to interest rate movements. The company discloses its CUSIP information – specific holdings – on its home page daily. Immediately after the MF Global collapse, Jefferies had about $2.41 billion in so-called long bets on the sovereign risk of the five nations and $2.32 billion in short positions. Jefferies' executive committee chairman said that based on their investments in European sovereign debt, the value of the fixed-income portfolio would change by $37,000 if interest rates move by 1 basis point, or .01 percentage point. Jefferies has been profitable since the end of 2008, with net income rising 53 percent in the third quarter to $68.3 million, overcoming what the firm called "the extremely difficult and volatile operating environment." Jefferies, in its most recent (Aug. 31) public financial statement, showed more than $2 billion in cash.
No proprietary trading at PFGBEST:
PFGBEST does not do any proprietary trading, therefore you do not have any risk exposure as MF Global had, which caused it to be downgraded and eventually to file for Chapter 11 protection. The only trading done by PFGBEST is in specific instances, by emerging CTAs that PFGBEST allocates funds to (always less than $150k), so that they can become "products" that the PFGBEST Managed Futures Division can then offer to customers. The total amount of funds currently allocated is less than $400k.
PFGBEST financials:
PFGBEST is a family-owned and managed business and has been since it was founded (as Peregrine Financial Group, Inc.) more than 20 years ago. We have no outside investors. We protect our investment by managing our risk with the BEST risk-assessment tools and the BEST technologies available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We apply these real-time risk management methods and systems to help monitor the risk profile of every customer, position, and traded market at all times. PFGBEST has no off-balance-sheet investments and never has.
PFGBEST has significant excess capital. Currently, PFGBEST holds 169% of the net capital required by the CFTC and NFA. All PFGBEST capital is held in cash or U.S. Treasury bills. PFGBEST does not use subordinated debt as capital.
Product suite and sustainability:
PFGBEST offers competitive commission rates; low day-trading margins, and award-winning customer service. We have more than 30 trading platforms for futures and foreign exchange, including BESTDirect ®, Trade Navigator, Ninja Trader, CQG, Strategy Runner, X_Trader, ProTrader, MT4, and iBroker Mobile.
In addition to online and full-service futures, foreign exchange, and futures options trading, PFGBEST has a robust Managed Futures Division. We also offer an array of precious metals services and products. Our front- and back-office services are state of the art, and in fact, we have developed and white-labeled these superior technologies.
PFGBEST is steadily in communication with regulators and exchanges, offering them access to our innovative technologies and intellectual capital to assist in any way with solutions for all customers, now and in the years ahead.
Thank you for being our customers, and thank you for your dialogue and commitment to a free, open, and transparent marketplace for all.

Is there any basis that we ever should have trusted the CFTC? What is their track record on these situations? If they were any other institution besides a government agency, would we still allow them to exit/have such power?
Perhaps this is simply a case in which we're letting the visibility of their failures skew our opinion of them; sort of the opposite of the Talking Head Financial Gurus. Maybe they truely are far more succesful than we're giving them credit for, catching lots of bad actors but missing a few*. But that's a discussion that nobody has ever had. We entrust our (financial) lives, or at the very least our livelihood, to an organization with blind acquiescence and then are surprised when they don't have our best interests in mind.
*If they are only missing a few bad apples then they would appear to be missing the largest ones. In which case, there is something seriously wrong with the way in which they do business.
The unfortunate reality about fraud and the laws surrounding it is that they always are applicable after the fact. Fraud is very rarely caught before situtions get really out of hand, so it's almost always an after the fact issue. That doesn't make the laws against fraud less valid, it's just their reality. Of course, this assumes that we actually enforce the laws on the books and not just Corzine them...Is there any country in the world that has actual financial safeguards that do anything in reality?

Chords that don't have any open strings in them AND chords whose open strings fit comfortably within the chord all called "moveable chords". Learn how to play a couple chords up the neck.
Taught by David Isaacs in Beginner Guitar With David Isaacs seriesLength: 15:31Difficulty: 1.5 of 5
I think I got the idea
Great teaching - I am enjoying the fact that you have mixed enough theory for my need to understand the mechanics and mixing it up with some scales and notation. The time taken to explain finger positions has been really helpful and as a long time beginner I am really happy to find the ability to play barre chords finally. Only issue is there is no box to select a pdf print option and the other docs cut off in the middle of a line when printed. It would be great to have all the chords charts and finger positions in this series on a document.
I wish all the chords we learn in these lessons appear in the chord library to save as we go.
The .PDF doesn't have the entire "Choogle" lesson.
Hello. You can find the "Choogle" part under the Notation/Tab section under supplemental content. It is the last item under that heading.
Yes, but it's not there as a pdf.
I took a look at this on my end and was not able to replicate the issue. The Choogle portion is available on page 2 of the pdf file. Depending on the size of your screen you may need to scroll to page 2 of the pdf while viewing it. You can also print the pdf which would include all pages.
I think a true beginner could easily spend a month on this lesson if not more. It will take at least 1-2 weeks before getting enough strength to consistently play barre chords long enough to get enough practice in the first place.
I agree with this sentiment. I have been taking lessons on Jamplay for over a year, semi-seriously. And it took months before i was able to play barre chords and moveable chords. Just wanted to comment for folks not to get discouraged, though! I jumped around to a few other beginner series lessons and was able to keep making progress in other areas while continuing bar chord practice...I really like this lesson series, its the first one I really utilized the backing track feature with! Thanks to David for the lessons!
This is kicking my butt
Mine, too. For me, hat A7 is really challenging to play clean.
has anyone else tried the slow down and speed up tempo change on these lessons. Hilarious!
This will take a little practice but you made it easy by showing the transition between chords. Thanks
hahaha that's so simple but I didn't have any idea about that, thanks so much for your help David.
Such fantastic lessons you present us, thanks Dave!

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

Memorandum Monday 29/8/16 - Missing My Girl
What I learnt, is nothing new, something I knew would happen and the thing that it surprisingly constant. What I learnt is that even though she has lived in Newcastle for the past 5 years after spending a fortnight together missing my girl is inevitable, hard and will always happen when she goes back.
The four of us, well five if you include Kiera and we always try to include Kiera, spent a week walking in the Lake District, earlier in the month. We had such a fabulous time, the sun shone for all but one day and when I say shone it was sun hats and sun block hot. We walked round lakes, climbed hills, fell over in the mud (in my case, much to the amusement of the others), swam in the becks (not in my case but the others did) and ate well, but sensibly.
Then Gracia caught the train home to us (not enough room in the car for us to bring her back) and spent another week here. We went to London to chase dreams
to the zoo to find our favourite animals
went pig hunting in Ipswich
and made a proper afternoon tea.
Every day was filled with fun and laughter and now she has gone back our little house echos with emptiness.
I am sure she will be back very soon and she starts on the final year of her medical degree tomorrow, almost there! After that she has two years as a junior doctor in a hospital and three further years GP training but after this year we can close the bank of mum and dad as she will be earning.
Reason to be Cheerful:-
Missing my girl indicates that we have had a lovely time and are looking forward to next time she is home. If I didn't miss her it would mean that I was glad she had returned to Newcastle!

Changed the entire sound of my car! What used to be only silence has now been replaced with this high roar when you jump on the accelerator. Puts a smile on my face knowing I have this under the hood. Due to my heavy foot I haven't been able to notice any MPG gains. It's been two weeks and I still find myself pressing the pedal down to the floor just to hear it one more time. Definitely the best purchase I've ever made by far, just the best bang for your buck.

New Zealand 37-17 France, Rugby World Cup, September 24, 2011
All Blacks despatch France with ease
ESPNscrum Staff
September 24, 2011

The All Blacks ran in five tries against France winning 37-17 at their fortress Eden Park in Auckland.
New Zealand had established a 19-0 lead by the end of the first quarter with the try-scoring bonus point arriving just 55 seconds after the interval. Israel Dagg crossed twice while Adam Thompson, Cory Jane and Sonny Bill Williams also breached the whitewash in a surprisingly easily victory.
The boot of fly-half Dan Carter completed the rout in Auckland as New Zealand, led by Richie McCaw who won his 100th cap today, maintained their record of having never lost a World Cup group match. Maxime Mermoz and Francois Trinh-Duc ran in tries for France but it was a disappointing performance from Marc Lievremont's side.
It had been suggested that Lievremont had selected a weakened line-up for the toughest game of Pool A and the most eagerly awaited showdown of the World Cup's group stage. Much of the attention focused on the selection of Morgan Parra at fly-half, but he was surrounded by mediocrity and only the arrival of reinforcements from the bench evened the contest.
France enjoyed some promising moments during an eventful start, initiated when Parra forced a useful opening. A drop goal attempt from the Clermont fly-half struck the uprights and almost bounced into the arms of number eight Louis Picamoles, only for the All Blacks to scramble in time.
Full-back Damien Traille then threatened to catch a crossfield bomb by Dimitri Yachvili, but Jane took him out as he was landing. The encouraging start had come to an abrupt end by the 20th minute, however, as New Zealand capitalised on some feeble defence to race 19-0 ahead.
The first try was scored by Thompson, who completed a move started when Ma'a Nonu when charging through the midfield. France were wobbling with Parra seeing two kicks charged down and their situation deteriorated when Maxime Medard waved Jane through for a try from a line-out.
Les Bleus were exposed once more when Carter worked a opening near the breakdown that should never have been there to send Dagg racing over. With Carter landing two of the three conversions, France looked beaten by the end of the first quarter.
Yachvili landed a penalty as the half neared its conclusion - the scrum-half dived after being struck lightly by flanker Jerome Kaino - but there appeared no way back for them. Their bleak position was confirmed just 55 seconds after the interval when Dagg skipped his way over the whitewash from close range after Carter had burst into space.
The drubbing continued as Carter rifled over a penalty and the French scrum repeatedly came under heavy pressure. A glimmer of hope was offered when centre Mermoz intercepted a loose pass from Carter and raced over unopposed, celebrating his try extravagantly despite his side's unenviable position.
Yachvili kicked the conversion and France's fortunes were soon transformed, coinciding with the arrival of William Servat, Imanol Harinordoquy, Cedric Heymans and Trinh-Duc from the bench. A quickly-taken penalty by Yachvili allowed Trinh-Duc to slip over, but there was a hint of controversy about the score as the All Blacks were unaware play had restarted.
New Zealand's response was emphatic, however, as Ali Williams athletically caught the restart, allowing Williams to cross under the posts with Carter converting.

The vigil may be celebrated at a church. If so, the rite presumes the body will be received with more ritual. In other locations, the vigil is quite simple with four elements: greeting, opening song, invitation to prayer, followed by the prayer. For a vigil at a church, the outline reads:
Sprinkling with Holy Water
Placing of the Pall (optional)
Entrance Procession
Placing of Christian Symbols (optional)
Invitation to Prayer
Opening Prayer
The sprinkling with holy water (OCF 83) may be done by a lay presider.
Placing the pall (OCF 84, 86) is included "if it is the custom." The Christian symbol may be "a Book of the Gospels, a Bible, or a cross" and may accompany the procession. The rite offers the option of placing this symbol in silence (which might seem the usual custom), though texts to accompany this action are given much later in the ritual (OCF 400).
A "psalm, song, or responsory" accompanies the entrance procession (OCF 85). OCF 403 is referenced and interestingly, these are alternate texts of the Song of Farewell, to which we will devote a bit of attention when we get to the conclusion of the funeral liturgy. Using a Song of Farewell at the vigil's entrance into the church and at the conclusion of the funeral liturgy provides for either an expanded repertoire of these strong pieces, or the chance to "bookend" the time the body is at the parish church.
Otherwise, the outline of the vigil is the same: Liturgy of the Word and Concluding Rites.
